Spring Cherry Blossom Hanging Scroll

From a photo I took last spring of Cherry Trees in a park across the street…

to a sketch using #2 and colored pencils…

to the final crochet and embroidery design created on cotton:

Each sakura is individually hand crocheted and then embroidered detail is added to the cotton. Along with Summer, Fall and a unique Winter scroll I am looking forward to a gallery showing in Tokyo this fall. Love how the hand embroidered accents really make this design pop!
